 qualified.

 

Now, I know I'm getting ahead of myself but if no miracle happens today in the two remaining matches, the groups for olympic games should be like this: 

 

A

Australia

Argentina

India

Spain 

New Zealand 

Japan 

 

B 

Belgium

Netherlands

Germany

GB 

Canada

South Africa

 

If RSA withdraw Malaysia takes their place in group B.

they will go with the serpentine system according to the final ranking of 2019 (which will be known in a few weeks, after the qualifying playoffs)...

I just realized that there is very big chance that in both mens and womens tournaments at Olympics we will see exactly 11 the same nations  The only difference can be that Belgium qualified only mens team and China qualified only womens team

It's becoming even funnier, when you realize that China qualified after shootout against... Belgium

...and even then China only qualified because of a big comeback and a shoot-out.

If South Africa withdraws their women's team, there will be another difference.

Wow that is interesting. There is no diversity in this sport this cycle...

That's what you get for having the "fairest" qualification system.
